planning and comprehensive personnel management directly impact mission
readiness.”

JMD, is the focal point for personnel support actions, and responsible for managing,
optimizing, and synchronizing the level of personnel support provided to the task force
during all phases of an operation. Although the Services have the primary responsibility for
providing personnel services support to their Service members, the joint force J-1 tracks the

joint force.

personnel management; manpower management; personnel augmentation; joint personnel
reception center; personnel accountability and strength reporting; rotation policy; pay and

procedures based on CJTF guidance.

(2) In addition, the J-1 provides support and assistance to the office of primary
responsibility with regard to RC call-up, stop-loss, noncombatant evacuation operations
(NEOs) and noncombatant repatriation, PR, and detainee operations. The JTF J-1 is
responsible for the development of the JTF personnel estimate during JOPP. The J-1 must
be fully involved in all phases of deliberate planning and CAP to support effective planning
for personnel support to joint operations and collaborate with other staff directors in the
